The Boys of October are swinging for the fences and you could not have written a believable Script for tonight's Game between the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros.
Houston's reliever loaded up the bases in the top of the 8th and Boston's best slugger "Mookie ain't kookie cuz he's the Betts" then hit a line drive that should have driven in a couple more runs only to have Houston Astros golden glove outfielder Reddick make a spectacular diving catch for the third out with 3 Red Sox players left on base...
Then Alex Cora with Houston world champion Astros last year now in his first season as Manager with the Boston Red Sox brings in Boston's often erratic closer Kimbrel in the bottom of the 8th to give up a run but retire the side with no more damage and then in the top of the 9th Houston's closer retires the side and Kimbrel the wild man comes in to close only to load up all the bases with two outs and faces the Astros best hitter Bregman who hits a line drive that Boston's left fielder makes a spectacular diving catch sliding on his chest for several feet holding onto the ball and wins the game for the Red Sox for a best of seven ALCS series lead of 3 to 1 in Houston on the Astros home turf... Epic nail-biter all around.
And these MLB guys would not think to protest the National Anthem that ends at the start of every game with the famous baseball words - Play Ball!
HOUSTON -- Left fielder Andrew Benintendi made a diving catch with the bases loaded for the final out, and the Boston Red Sox held off the Houston Astros 8-6 Wednesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the AL Championship Series.
Boosted by a questionable fan interference call and another home run from Jackie Bradley Jr. in a gripping, back-and-forth game, the Red Sox moved within one victory of their first World Series trip since winning the 2013 title.
Another game in Houston tomorrow and if needed 2 more in Boston's legendary Fenway Park - Boston only needs to win one more to finish their Cinderella Season to go on to the World Series against the NLCS winner either the LA Dodgers or Milwaukee Brewers.
